Barack Obama could have declared war on Russia and the backlash still would have paled in comparison to the uproar when DC cast Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The criticism seems to have died down recently thanks to the strength of promotional images, and now fans seem to be looking forward with cautious optimism. Could this be DC's first most successful play against the MCU? All the questions surrounding Ben Affleck€™s Batman and his rumoured solo film seem to be who his villain should be with Jared Leto€™s Joker being set up as Affleck€™s big bad in Suicide Squad. However, many forget that Batman€™s rich and vast history isn€™t limited to just his villains, he€™s also supported by a tremendous cast and with DC determined to put together a strong universe it makes perfect sense for them to bring these characters to life. While Christopher Nolan€™s Dark Knight Trilogy brought light to Batman€™s supporting cast with Alfred, Commissioner Gordon and Lucius Fox playing major roles, he appeared unwilling to dip any further into the Bat-Family and instead created original characters like Rachel Dawes and John Blake to expand the universe. Alfred Pennyworth is the only supporting character to be given a part to play in DC€™s Cinematic Universe with Jeremy Irons cast in the role, leaving endless possibilities available. With that in mind, here are ten perfect casting choices to join Ben Affleck€™s Bat-Family.
